    Good morning all!

    We had a big surprise this morning when we looked out the window -- probably about 4 inches of the white powdery stuff -- not expected!  The forecast is for lows in the teens and more "frozen mix" so I guess this will stick around for awhile.  Nothing like what other parts of the country and Canada are getting, so I won't complain.

     

    DD, DSIL and the grandsons spent the night last night and left about half an hour ago to head to Whistler.  It was obvious how much they've all missed these kittens.  They will be back on Sunday, and the kittens will go home.  It's going well getting the antibiotics into Captain Soot, I'm thankful he loves his canned food -- so easy to mix it in his food.  

     

    @marshhawkI'm so sorry to hear about Neko, and know how difficult it must be for you.  Is there another vet nearby who could see him before Friday?  

     

    Here are my photos of Djupivogur. We were there in 2018 on the Voyage of the Vikings.   We spent hours just walking.  Around the lake, up the hills, and one thing I especially wanted to do was to see Jon Sigurosson's shop so we spent some time there visiting with him.  We found a few trinkets for the grandsons, but oh my things were expensive as everything is in Iceland.  We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

    These plants fascinated me.  When I was able to look them up, I found the common name is "Cotton Flower" and they really look like cotton plants in a field.

    Jon's shop with polished local rock, crystal and wood carvings.  Amazing.

    Jon, this is in back of the shop.

    Was this a tender port or were you able to dock here?
